Field hockey drops NESCAC road contest at No. 3 Tufts

Continentals are back at Goodfriend Field on Wednesday against Skidmore

Tufts University's Gillian Roeca scored two goals and the nationally ranked No. 3 Jumbos posted a 4-0 NESCAC win against the Hamilton College Continentals at Tufts' Ounjian Field on Sunday afternoon.

Hamilton (6-3, 3-3 NESCAC) split its two weekend conference road games as the Continentals cruised to a 4-1 victory at Colby College on Saturday. Hamilton returns home to Goodfriend Field for a non-conference contest against Skidmore College on Wednesday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m.

Tufts (6-1, 4-0) scored a goal in each quarter as Claire Foley and Reegan McCluskey also found the back of the cage. The Jumbos owned a 13-6 shot advantage and the Continentals registered five of their six shots in the fourth quarter. Tufts' six penalty corners were twice as many as the number Hamilton was awarded. Three Jumbo goaltenders combined to make two saves en route to the shutout.

Maggie Reville '22 made five stops for the Continentals and Maeve Eskandari '24 and Maura Holden '23 were credited with their first defensive saves.

Roeca scored with 6:54 left in the first quarter and added another goal with 10:09 remaining in the second. Hamilton's best scoring chance in the first half came late in the second quarter on its first penalty corner when a hard shot by Hannah Dillon '24 was tipped up and over the cage.

Foley made it 3-0 with 5:17 to go in the third quarter and McCluskey's goal beat the final horn by 18 seconds.

The Continentals tried to get on the scoreboard with under six minutes left in the fourth on consecutive penalty corners. The first corner resulted in a shot from the penalty stroke dot by Dillon that was kicked away by Tufts goaltender Sam Gibby and set up another corner. That corner led to a backhanded shot by Lexi Takashima '22 from a sharp angle left of the cage. The shot bounced through the goal mouth and passed over the end line to the right of the cage.
